Author: Have you ever wondered what kind of adornment an athlete is allowed to dress on the field? Like is a pitcher contestant allowed to 
dress a men’s wedding ring on the on the mound? Or is a hockey contestant allowed to dress a necklace?
Here is a brief rundown on what professional athletes are allowed to dress in the four major sports.
NHL:- Since most of the a players body is covered on the ice (save the cervix and face) by their uniform, skates, socks, handwear and helmet, the NHL does not hit some rules pertaining to what type of adornment can be attrited during the game. Since it’s a high impact sport, players are apt not to dress some type of earrings or rings during the games. As for necklaces, as long as they don’t appear outside of the jersey they are allowed.
NFL:- If there is one sport that is hyper critical of what a contestant wears on the field, it is the NFL (or as some fans hit dubbed it the “No Fun League”). Not only can you get penalized for excessive celebration on the field, but also for wearing non- sanctioned socks or shoes. And the rules begin from the time someone hits the field for pre-game practice every the way to the time they leave the stadium. Rules are even enforced during post game interviews! Ironically, though, the NFL does not hit excessive rules on what kind of adornment can be attrited on the field. Since safekeeping are primarily used for catching and blocking, rings are generally not attrited as they could affect the catching or throwing of a ball. Necklaces and ear rings, on the another hand, are worn, as long as they are within reason. Bracelets, on the another hand, must be covered at every time. Did I mention that officials review the entire game afterwards to make sure (once again) that no one broke uniform rules during the game? Wow.
NBA:- In the past few years the commissioner’s office has begun to come down hornlike on NBA players with a new dress code that has limited what a contestant could dress before and after a game. This is extended to the court where NBA players are not allowed to dress some type of jewelry. This effectuation earrings; bracelets, rings and necklaces are every no-no’s. The only accessories allowed on the court are articulatio and elbow braces, headbands and, of course, tattoos.

Here are some of the many questions:
How long should it be?
What direction should it go?
Would it be best to eliminate it?
One thing is for sure: The stride, done poorly, will often do more harm than good. Here are some of those issues: Over-striding, stepping the bucket, and not getting the foot down in time.
One might think, let’s just eliminate the stride. Or let’s just put the front foot out, with only a little weight, and keep the rest of the weight back.
In all of our years of studying baseball hitting tips for research and development of the Super 8 Hitting System, we looked for answers to those questions.
I am a hitting purest, meaning that if the activity is not necessary, then we don’t do it. In other words, economy of action, doing only the absolutes with no wasted motion is the way to go. So should we eliminate the stride? Many coaches teach this in their clinics and camps using many baseball hitting drills.
My belief is that while no stride is ten times better than a bad stride, a good stride is better than no stride. Against a good velocity pitcher, a hitter must have quick hips. He must be able to turn quickly, clearing his hips and getting his hands out in front for contact. The stride is an asset for this. It provides a continuation from linear to rotation for the fast ball and for transfer of weight through the ball.
Here is the timing factor:
Fast Ball: Stride – Stroke
Off Speed: Stride – Pause – Stroke
Think of the top that young people used to play with. With all of the electronic games of today, the old “top” has been sort of put away on the proverbial shelf. But the top used to be a favorite toy for youngsters. It’s a rounded object with a pin on the bottom. They would wind the string around it, toss it forward holding onto the end of the string.
When the pin of the top hit the ground, the top would change from linear direction to rotational. It would spin, and spin until it lost its momentum and flopped over.
If the top were merely dropped straight down vertically, this would create a very loose rotation, if any, and it would almost immediately drop over on its side.
So what’s the point? Like the linear action of the top gives it the force that it needs for strong rotation, so does the linear action of the stride provide a good rotation of the hips toward the ball.
